I am happy to say that I DID hobble down the stairs to the stamp cave this afternoon. I actually got two cards down for today's IC challenge AND they will be put in my gift stash of all occasion cards for friends.
These candleholders inspired this card. (I went with silver as when I looked at them with my weak peepers, I thought they shimmered like silver.)
Thanks so very much for looking. It really felt good to be creating again. Hopefully I will hobble down more often. I am scheduled for a 'back injection in early May which will hopefully take care of this excruciating sciatic pain.

I lover what you came up with from this inspiration. I looked at this also but couldn't really think of anything for it. I love the shimmer of the embossing!
